    Polished up my rear passenger wheel a bit. It was pretty nasty due to the sticking caliper.

    Bolted down my ecu to replace the zip ties that were holding it in there. However, couldn't get away from the ties to secure the PA system. I'll rig something up that's not sketch in the future.

        No guess work going on here.

        I had my buddy rip it open because the lock froze and I needed to get in there. I have a new one ready to install but it is further down on the to do list.

            So my clutch doesn't like the boost at 18 psi. I do, but it really doesn't one bit.

            It slips in 4th and 5th but spins tires through the other gears. It has a chattering feel and the revs go up but the mph do not.

            I think it is bull#€£%# because it's a southbend stage 4 unless the seller lied. Going to get a southbend stage 5 and call it a day.

            When it doesn't slip it is insanity!!

              Do you have any power interruptions such as a little breakup or any tuning issues? Ive noticed that clutch slip gets worse when power delivery isnt smooth.

                I'm sure it isn't too smooth. But it feels strong.

                I'll have to look back to what I have. Not too sure because I bought it used and can't remember what I got in there.

                    Why are you still messing with junk clutches. Get the UUC twin disc and call it a day. Will also feel a lot better on your foot as it feels like factory.

                            First I'm going to bleed my slave cylinder and look into a braided line. Just to be sure, ya know?!

                              Air in the system wouldnt have an effect on clamping force, thats all in the pressure plate. It would only prevent it from releasing all the way. But you already know this. So im going over here now. Bye

                                Darn, I had a feeling that might not do the trick.

                                  I have had my "blue flywheel of death" for 20k miles at least with no troubles.  It has fantastic feel and is still easy enough to drive that my wife said she can't tell the difference from the stock one.  I am also not revving past the stock limiter, I would rather have the light flywheel and stock limiter any day.

                                      What exactly is the blue flywheel of death? Lol

                                      Also, wouldn't a twin disk not feel stock at all? Unless you are talking about a different version , but most run crazy clamping force and won't have good pedal feel.

                                          All of the reviews say it is very streetable and holds big power. I might need this in my life.
